space factors

[AdieB]

Doing a quote for some tray and basket. Cant seem to find in the OSG or the green regs the suggested space factor to allow for future proofing. From back of mind I have 40%. Anyone have the knowledge ?

Space factors are not for future proofing they are for air circulation.

As Sintra says, it is for air circulation. Also its 45% See note under Table E6 OSG page 138

If you want to future proof, just use the next larger size tray.
But I doubt your customer will want to pay for future proofing.
